Hi everyone. I had A problem awhile back with engine bogging out when throtling up but corrected that as there was a pinched line on numer 2 carb. Now i may have moved the throtle control rod yoke abit and now i have rough idle and it stalles when i place it in forward gear at trolling speed. If i throtle up its great and takes off no problem. Now i have an original repair manual for this engine and it states that if the throtle control lever and yoke have been disturbed to set it at 4-31/32" from end of rod to start of yoke. Now my question is if i do this i cant get the roller cam on carbs to alighn with the throtle cam theres no room for adjustment it stays to high almost at the start mark. Is this 4-31/32 just an initial adjustment? Now for me to synk this right am i to loosen the carb roller cam and adjust the idle screw with a timming light connected to let the mark hit the TDC on flywheel Then adjust my yoke on throtle shaft to hit the cam follower on carb linkage on bottom mark. Then readjust my idle to 750 rpm in forward. Thanks for any help
